AMHERST,
MA
–
Every
spring,
kids
at
the
Common
School
in
Amherst,
plant
pumpkins
and
proceed
to
learn
how
to
care
for
them.
And
from
these
seeds
come
study
and
service.
In
the
fall,
after
they
harvest
the
pumpkins,
students
practice
math
skills
by
weighing
them
and
counting
the
seeds.
The
learning
continues
as
they
measure
ingredients
to
make
dozens
of
loaves
of
pumpkin
bread,
which
they
donate
to
the
nearby
senior
center.
Make your celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day "a day on, not a day off." This year, thousands
of people will do just that by volunteering.
Clearing
an
elderly
neighbor's
sidewalk.
Collecting
canned
goods
for
a
food
bank.
Help
coach
a
younger
child's
team.
Help
a
neighbor
with
some
yard
work.
Play
a
game
at
the
senior
center.

The kids in Mrs. Kelsey's class painted some
posters to give kids ideas about the kinds of
things they can do to help in their neighborhood.
But they fell off the line while drying and got
mixed up.
Can you match the two halves of each poster?
